Cheap little $3 bottle grab to up the style tick. This is kinda stuff gives sake a bad name. Clear pour. Nose is anise, melon, cheap perfume. Tastes of sake plus rubbing alcohol. Palate is hoochy warmness. Not very good but super happy to find.

210ml ECO cup from Japan Centre online. Clear with no head and aroma of rice, melon, citric. Taste is rice, melon, with mellow earthy & grassy alcohol. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry papery finish. Quite OK.

Grainy rice and soy sauce aroma. Yellow water appearance. Sweet rice flavor with light fruitiness and an alcohol burn finish. So-so

Bottle, warmed in pan of hot water. Dang! A stab at a second sake, and it's the same style as my first. Will this amusement never end?
Okay. This one is somewhat banana-ey on first sniff. Tasting leaves some harsh alcohol in the sides of my mouth. Doesn't leave as much play as the Hakusan I had earlier. However, I do get an interesting peppermint impression on the tip of my tongue. But that's about it.
